Today we celebrate the birthday of two shahenshahs; one of the big-screen and one of the telly screen.

Today we celebrate the birthday of two shahenshahs; one of the big-screen and one of the telly screen. Yes! We're talking about none other than Amitabh Bachchan and Ronit Roy!

Bachchan
was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh to Harivansh Rai Bachchan, a Hindi
poet, and Teji Bachchan, a Sikh from Faisalabad. His name was initially
Inquilaab but his father changed it to Amitabh, meaning "the light that
will never die". Bachchan made his debut as a voice narrator in 1969's Bhuvan Shome and then as an actor in Saat Hindustani. He tasted success almost immediately with Anand (1971),
for which he received his first Filmfare Best Supporting Actor award.
He soon became known as the "angry young man" after a string of movies
such as Zanjeer (1973) and Abhimaan (1973). Bachchan has
acted in over 180 films in his four decade career. He has won many major
awards in his career, including three National Film awards as Best
Actor, a number of awards at international film festivals and award
ceremonies, and 14 Filmfare awards. Bachchan has also left a mark as a
playback singer, film producer, television host, and even as a
politician. He is married to actress Jaya Bhaduri and they have two
children, Shweta Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan, and their daughter-in-law
is the former Miss World, Aishwariya Rai Bachchan.

Ronit
Bose Roy was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra to Brothindranath Bose Roy, a
businessman, and Dolly Bose Roy. He has one younger brother, Rohit Roy.
Roy initially pursued hotel management and after the completion of his
studies, he resided with Subhash Ghai who persuaded him not to pursue a
film career due to the difficulties associated with it. He therefore
worked as a management trainee until his father died. Roy then joined
Mukta Arts as a freelance editor and took on modelling and advertising
assignments. He made his on-screen debut in Jaan Tere Naam (1992).
The movie was successful but his next few films did not perform too
well. Roy soon made his TV debut and met much success there as an actor
in many Balaji TV shows. In 2010, he re-entered Bollywood with Udaan, winning much praise and awards. He then went on to star in That Girl in Yellow Boots, Student of the Year, Midnight's Children, Shootout at Wadala, Ugly, and Boss.
He owns Ace Security and Protection Agency which caters to Bollywood
actors and politicians, as well as Bollywood movie productions. Roy is
married to Neelam Singh and has three children, Ona (from a previous
marriage), Aador (born in May, 2005) and Agasthya (born in October,
2007).
